Approved King Air EASA STC for weather research application
(Cloud Aerosol and Precipitation Spectrometer (CAPS) probe)
The King Air C90GTi is modified to an airborne laboratory for atmospheric environmental research missions by Beechcraft Berlin aviation GmbH. The wing tip of the King Air is equipped with a pylon mounted pod/canister system that carries the sensor unit. This pylon is mounted on a Beechcraft Berlin aviation certified hard point available for all King Air Series (C90 - B300).
King Air C90 GTi equipped weather research system CAPS (R/H)
Main Installation Actions for re-inforcing the wing tip are:
• De-installation of the wing tip
• Install doubler with mounting points for the pylon
• Mount the specified equipment on the Beechcraft Berlin designed pylon
• Mount pylon with sensors on the wing tip

The pylon mounted CAPS-Probe (Cloud Aerosol and Precipitation Spectrometer) is used for meteorological research purposes like detection of small particles in the atmosphere. The CAPS system is a combination probe to characterize cloud parameters. CAPS include a Hot-wire Liquid Water Content Sensor, a Cloud and Aerosol Spectrometer and a Cloud Imaging Probe. The system was developed by DMT (Droplet Measurement Technology). It is supplied together with a canister which carries the measuring equipment as well as the sensors. The canister is mounted directly onto the Beechcraft Berlin aviation designed and provided wing pylon. The system on wing tip weights all together ~30kg.
Inside cabin one passenger seat is superseded by an op- erator console to carry power control of each single system and computer systems.
An ethernet socket is intergrated into the cup holder of the table for remote controlling the CAPS computer system.
The measurement sytem - master switch panel is installed at the instrument pedestal to give full power controll to the pilot. A load shedding system designed by Beechcraft Berlin aviation to cut off electrical power in case of any alternator failure.

Weather Research Aircraft with Hawkeye probe (EASA STC)
The King Air C90GTi is modified to an airborne laboratory for atmospheric environmental research missions. Within this configuration, a new high-sophisticated
weather research probe, named ‘Hawkeye’, from SPEC Inc. has been installed on the right wing tip. The STC involves Beech craft Berlin designed doubler for all KINGAIR wing tips. In addition a pylon with the footprint of the probe was de-signed and certified to provide the connection from wing and probe.
The pylon is customized designed by Beechcraft Berlin aviation for the Hawkeye from SPEC Inc. It’s made from carbon fibre plastics and carries a quick connection for the cables (fibre optics and conventional cable). The probe is a cloud particle and precipitation probe that combines a forward scattering module for sizing particles, a CCD camera and two imaging arrays. The overall size and weight of the probe are (810*406*165) mm and 30 kg. Power and Fibre optics cables are routed thru the wing.

Approved King Air EASA STC for Laser Scanner System (LIDAR)
KINGAIR C90 (EASA STC 10042830)
The King Air C90GTi is modified by Beechcraft Berlin aviation GmbH with a LIDAR system for 3D geo-referencing application. The wing tip of the King Air is equipped with a pylon mounted multi-purpose pod that carries the measuring equipment. This pylon is mounted on a Beechcraft Berlin aviation GmbH certified hard point available for all King Air Series (C90 - B300).
King Air C90 GTi equipped external multi-purpose pod
Within the first application the multi-purpose pod consists of Laser Scanner Camera, Datarecor-der, Inertial reference unit (IMU), CCNS4 and Sensor Mea-suring Unit (SMU). The entire system combined aircraft guidance, mission planning and direct georeferencing. The entire platform is mounted on the Beechcraft Berlin designed welding platform together with carbon fiber re-inforced pylon and sheltered by a structural fairing. Data recorder and CCNS4 are mounted on shock mounts on separate shelves. The rear end enables space for further equipment and side access to the data recorder and CCNS4. This multi-purpose pod weighs in the shown configuration 60kg.
